Being appealing and knowledgable when teaching technology to teenagers

As a high school teacher I know that technology is a moving train and if I do not get on board (and stay there) that I will miss the train completely. How do you compete with students who have been born with high speed internet, Ipods, texting, etc.? Competing with the capabilities of students in technology may be impossible. There are so many different aspects, products, and angles that cannot be covered by one person. When teaching and using technology in a Language Arts classroom it is best to use discussion as a way to incorporate everyone's individual expertise, not to mention cover areas you may not have conceivably covered. As a teacher in a technology lesson I believe it is my duty to guide the discussion to meaningful conversation, as well as provide structure to conversations of individual pieces of technology (for instance, covering mp3 players before discussing IPODs). The only way to properly teach and use technology in the classroom can not be through the mastery teacher method, but as a dialogue between the students and the teacher.
